Chapter Twelve Introducing the King into the Urn [500 Zhang Yue
Yang Yuanqing and his party left the city from the Golden Light Gate. Yang Shiqing had a female war department. The soldiers did not check and asked him to go out directly. The carriage passed through the long city cave, and the light became very dark. There was already a person waiting in the city cave. When the carriage approached, he quickly said a few words to a entourage.
The follower whispered to Yang Zhao in the carriage and then urged him to go forward and go side by side with Yang Yun...qing.
"General Yang, they are lying in the Black Wind Forest of Erqiao."
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "What about our people?"
“It has been deployed.”
Yang Yuanqing took a deep breath, he knew that from now on, he would be a piece of bait...
Second Bridge is a place name, about ten miles away from the capital. Although the place name contains the word "bridge", there is no trace of the bridge. This place is actually a fork road, a small road heads south, and the official road leads directly to Xianyang.
The forests on both sides of the official road are lush. It is late autumn. The frost is like a knife, and the forests are dyed, making the forest colorful. But not far from the forks, there is a dark green pine forest, stretching nearly two miles and covering an area of hundreds of acres.
This section of the pine forest is called Black Wind Forest, which is named by merchants. As the name suggests, it is not a very peaceful place, especially at night there will be thieves.
At this time, the murderous intent in the Black Wind Forest was fierce, and more than 300 He Ruo Mansion generals had been waiting here for a long time. They came here just as dawn, like a group of experienced hunters, waiting patiently for the arrival of their prey.
He Ruobi took action himself again today. Dugu Luo sent someone to tell him that before noon today, Yang Yuanqing would leave the city under the order of the Ministry of War and return to Dali City. At this moment, he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Behind the He Ruo family generals, there were nineteen men in gray. They kept a distance from the He Ruo family generals. They had an unconcealed arrogance and disdain on their faces, and everyone had a calm face and said nothing.
Among these gray-clad men, thirteen were from the Dugu family. They were the generals of Dugu Mansion. They were known as the Thirteen Cavalry of Yunsuo. This was a personal army founded by Dugu Xin decades ago. They fought with Dugu Xin in the south and north. Although the Thirteen Cavalry of Yunsuo had been changed for several generations, their reputation has continued to flourish and became one of the four most famous personal army teams in the Sui Dynasty.
There are also six men in gray who are Ya. Zhou's family members are the best ones selected by Yuan Zhou from more than 200 generals. They are all skilled in martial arts and rich in experience.
It was precisely the help of these nineteen people that made He Ruobi very confident that Yang Yuanqing would definitely die under his knife today.
There were not many pedestrians on the official road, most of them were in a hurry. After a merchant walked past, the official road soon became deserted again. It was already noon. A reporter rushed to Hefenglin and told He Ruobi that Yang Yuanqing had set out and was coming here.
The atmosphere in the Black Wind Forest suddenly became tense. The generals were arched and unsheathed, and He Ruobi gritted his teeth without blinking, staring at the end of the official road, waiting for Yang Yuanqing to arrive.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Yuanqing finally appeared at the fork in the second bridge, only more than 300 steps away from the Black Wind Forest in front of him. Yang Yuanqing began to be alert. He was wearing a helmet and armor, holding a spear in his right hand, and holding a giant infantry shield in his left hand. Every nerve in his body was mobilized, and every abnormality around could not escape his eyes.
Yang Yuanqing turned his head and looked behind him. The third carriage was about fifty steps away from him. Twenty-five guards surrounded the carriage tightly. The appearance was no different from the carriage, but in fact it was specially made. Even if it was a military crossbow, it could not penetrate the wall of the carriage within fifty steps. Despite this, the carriage still distanced Yang Yuanqing for a distance.
The carriage was walking slowly on the official road. Yang Yuanqing had already entered the Black Wind Forest. At this moment, Yang Yuanqing suddenly saw He Ruobi standing in the pine forest. The two of them looked at each other, and the same hatred burned in their eyes.
He Ruobi had a grim smile on his face, and he shouted "Kill!"
Suddenly, two hundred arrows roared and shot towards Yang Yuanqing in a dense manner. Yang Yuanqing was ready. He raised his shield to greet him. The arrows shot on his shield. Yang Yuanqing quickly retreated to the other side of the carriage. The wide carriage became the best shield, but the two slow horses pulling the carriage were unfortunately shot by arrows and fell down miserably.
When more than twenty shì guards in a carriage behind saw the ambush and started to launch, they immediately raised their shields and protected the carriage tightly. However, they were quite far away from Yang Yuanqing and did not become the target of assassination.
Seeing that the arrow was ineffective, He Ruobi shouted, and three hundred generals from both sides of the official road were killed, cutting off Yang Yuanqing's retreat, and rushed towards Yang Yuanqing like an ant colony.
Yang Yuanqing did not take these 300 master generals to heart. He was paying attention to He Ruobi and nineteen other gray-clad men in the pine forest. He Ruobi's archery skills were superb, and the other nineteen were said to be skilled in martial arts. He had to be guarded against He Ruobi's cold arrows and the siege of these nineteen.
In an instant, dozens of people rushed to him, spears and bayonets slashed, and dozens of weapons were slashing at him. Yang Yuanqing shouted loudly and suddenly showed his power. His horse Yunhui moved, like a storm, and a long spear pierced the xiōng chamber, the spear blade cut off his throat, and the heavy spear head smashed the head, as if it was destroyed. The dozens of people around him suddenly screamed, and more than 20 people were killed or injured in an instant.
Seeing that the man in gray never came out, Yang Yuanqing roared and rushed out of the carriage, like a tiger or a flock of sheep, rushed into the group of He Ruo's family, and slashed with spears and bayonets. Wherever he passed, the generals died; he was injured and blood dyed the official road red.
Yang Yuanqing descended to earth like a god, rushed out of bloody roads among the crowd, killing three hundred family generals crying and screaming, wailing everywhere, and dead bodies everywhere. The family generals all lived in the capital and had never seen such a bloody killing. They were so scared that they were killed. Seeing Yang Yuanqing rushing towards them, they turned around and ran away, and finally turned into Yang Yuanqing chasing the He Ruo Mansion generals.
He Ruobi was furious and turned his head to shout at the nineteen men in gray: "You still won't do anything?"
Nineteen men in gray were riding on the horse and motionless. They were waiting for the command of the leader. The leader of the man in gray was a man in his thirty years old, named Dugu Sanlang. They took Dugu as their surname and named him, and Dugu Sanlang was the oldest among the thirteen riders of Yungang.
His eyes were calm and ignored He Ruobi's shouts. He had a trace of doubt in his heart. He found that Yang Yuanqing had prepared in advance. He was holding a large infantry shield in his hand. His carriage could defend against bows and arrows. It was even more incredible that the carriage fifty steps behind him. More than 20 men in black were holding shields to guard the carriage. The other party was prepared so well, which meant that they knew they would encounter an ambush and would come even if they knew there was an ambush. What did this mean?
Dugu Sanlang began to feel nervous. Before he left, his master instructed him that if he found something abnormal, he would give up the ambush and retreat immediately.
He had already realized something was wrong and immediately shouted in a low voice, "Let's go!"
They turned their horses and left, but at this moment, an abnormal situation occurred. A shout came from the Black Pine Forest, and suddenly there were dense soldiers, with tens of thousands of people. They had surrounded the Black Pine Forest.
This sudden situation shocked everyone. They retreated one after another and looked at He Ruobi uneasy. He Ruobi was stunned on the spot. He didn't understand what was going on?
The nineteen men in gray were unable to evacuate. They looked at each other and felt extremely uneasy in their hearts. Dugu Sanlang even felt that they seemed to be in a trap.
At this time, General Qiu He, the gatekeeper, came on a horse and shouted: "Everyone has put down his weapons, and those who violate the situation will be killed without any quasi-death!"
He Ruobi was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "General Qiu, this is just a matter, there is no need to mobilize all troops like this."
Qiu He said coldly: "Duke He Ruo, I heard the report that someone is lying in the pine forest here. Now I am executing the order. Please cooperate with me and don't resist, otherwise you will be suspicious of rebellion.
He Ruobi had no choice but to turn around and say, "Everyone put down his weapons!"
The generals of the He Ruo Mansion family put down their weapons one after another, and Qiu He came to the nineteen gray-clad men. The nineteen gray-clad men were surrounded by thousands of soldiers and pointed their bows and crossbows at them.
Qiu He stared at the nineteenth person and said, "Don't implicate your masters all."
Dugu Sanlang looked at the crossbow arrows in the hands of more than a thousand soldiers. He had no choice but to order everyone, "All dismount and surrender, and no resistance!"
Nineteen men in gray dismounted one after another and put down their weapons. The soldiers rushed forward and tied up the nineteen people firmly.
Seeing that everyone was under control, Qiu He loudly announced, "He Ruobi and others assassinate the King of Jin, plot against rebellion, and arrest them all!"
This, the criminal general He Ruobi was shocked. After a while, he yelled, "You are slandering people. When will I murder the King of Jin and rebel?"
Qiu He snorted, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the carriage that had already driven forward. He knelt on one knee, "Mr. Qiu He, please see His Highness, King Jin!"
The car door opened, and King Yang Zhao of Jin walked out of the carriage, his face was pale. He glanced at He Ruobi and said coldly: "Duke of Song, if General Qiu had not arrived quickly, he would have died under your knife."
He Ruobi never dreamed that King Yang Zhao of Jin was actually in the carriage. He suddenly felt a dizzy moment and collapsed softly on the ground. He could not explain this matter clearly no matter what.
Dugu Sanlang was tied to the ground, and his eyes were filled with fear. He already understood what was going on.
When Yang Yuanqing saw that He Ruobi was escorted and left, he couldn't help but sigh. When hatred blocked a person's reason, this person often became stupid, went to extremes, and eventually harmed himself and others. He Ruobi wanted to kill himself, but in the end he fell into a trap. He could only blame him for his own fault, no one else's fault.
Qiu He bowed to Yang Yuanqing, "General Yang, please follow us too! This matter is of great importance. You are here to prove it."
Qiu He smiled again, "General Yang has made contributions to protecting the emperor, I congratulate General Yang first."
Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly in his heart. He has become a supporter now. I wonder what He Ruobi will feel if he knows it?
